I was recently offered a dual processor dual core PowerMac G5 for next to nothing and I thought it might be fun to play with as a novelty non x86 item. I am not particularly interested in running an obsolete version of OSX and if I buy the thing I will probably put Linux on it. For obvious reasons I can't use the official drivers from either vendor and I have read several sources indicating that ATI/AMD driver support is substantially better than Nvidia's particularly for 3D acceleration.
Has anyone got direct experience of Linux on PPC? I really just want suggestions for getting the machine setup with the most capable gfx solution I can, ideally with hardware video acceleration. I'd even consider importing an S3 card ;P
